Usher is marrying his longtime girlfriend Jennifer Goicoechea following his Super Bowl halftime show performance.

According to records obtained by HipHopDX, the R&B legend obtained a marriage license in Clark County, Nevada on February 9, four days ago.

The Daily Mail claims that Usher made the decision to wed Goicoechea after consulting his spiritual advisor Amba Kahly Su. The newspaper said the wedding will be a small and intimate affair.

Usher was previously married to Tameka Foster between 2007 and 2009 and Grace Miguel between 2015 and 2018.

The singer and Goicoechea have been together since 2019, with the couple welcoming their first child in 2020 and their second in 2021.

Usher previously spoke about their relationship toPeople, where he said: “I have an amazing partner, a support system. We have an amazing dynamic between our relationship where I’m able to be passionate still about what I do and have an incredible partner to work through some of the harder times as a young man dealing with children and dealing with the dynamic of how you communicate with them.”

He also praised her abilities as a parent: “She’s better at it than me in many lights. I’m a man-man, so I’m like, ‘This is what we’re doing,’ and I might be a little bit more disciplinary at times. If there’s a slap and a hug, I’m the slap and she’s the hug. But that creates balance.”

Usher’s Super Bowl performance saw him perform a medley of his biggest hits such as “Yeah!,” “My Boo” and “Burn” while bringing out special.

“I’m very happy that there’s a new installation of R&B artists who care to be authentic to what they are creating, inspired by artists of the past,” he said in an interview with Billboard.
